[Vwdiesel] TDI New Beetle No start

[Tad]

I'm pretty sure it's not possible to get a useful reading from Vagcom until
the engine is running.

If you're getting fuel at the injectors and no signs of combustion, the pump
timing has got to be off.

You said the belt was "recently" replaced but didn't say if the car actually
ran afterward.  Did it?  Are you sure the guy didn't money with anything
that would alter the cam/crank/pump timing relationship?

What method did you use to ensure everything stayed in time?  Cam/pump
locking tools, chalk marks, other?

Have you tried advancing the pump?    It doesn't take much movement to get
from no-start to too-advanced.  If the pump cog is off by even one tooth it
could put you into no-start territory.
